On My Walk This Morning 4d


This is a typical "Brunfelsia" tree.  "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow."
This is the way I have always seen them before those bushes by the palm trees.
They are small, decorative trees which bloom profusely for almost two months
and are always covered with blossoms - brand new dark purple, several days old in
pale lavender, and a week old turning white.

Three colors of flowers on "Brunfelsia Tree."



A beautiful bush of "Marie Antoinette" Yellow Hibiscus.
This is an old bush which has been pruned many, many times over the years,
but it continues to grow and blooms prolifically.



"Lady Godiva" White Phalaenopsis Orchids with yellow throats.
White orchids of many kinds hang on the trees.  They grow easily.



"Fairy Fountain / Alcantara Bromeliad."
I saw this from a distance and loved it.  It is highly decorative and seems very hardy.



"Amethyst Jewel" Phalaenopsis Orchid.
It is hanging above a bench in front of a condo building.



"Philippine Ground Orchid / Spathoglottis."
The flower is a different color and shape from any of the other ground orchids
we have around here.




"Yellow Kalanchoe" on someone's patio.  Usually these are indoor plants,
but the weather outdoors is fine for them here.  This one seems to be doing very
well and spreading out nicely.



The Pink and White Begonia Bed along the driveway is filling out
and becoming more and more lush.  I think they did a really good job.



"White Angel Wing Begonias" with "Pink Dragon Wing Begonias."

"Hyacinth Orchids."
This is another new variety of the ground orchids which I just discovered.
The two toned petals are very attractive.



A bed of White, Red-Orange, and Purple Impatiens / Busy Lizzies.
Each condo building chooses its own color scheme each season.



Large, snow white Impatiens.



Hot Red-Orange Busy Lizzies



Rich purple Busy Lizzies



Another nice colorful walk this morning.
